Although—to be totally honest —they didn't shy away from destroying public property, either. Could I take them anywhere?

I first came to Oregon way back in the fall of 1979. I was about to start school at Lewis & Clark, and my parents drove me on the 1,300-mile trip from Colorado.
I sat in the backseat along with my navy blue metal locker, a large-ish suitcase, and my electric typewriter. I was dreaming about moving into my dorm room, worried about whether my roommates would like me, and trying to fathom what college life would be like. I was pretty quiet on the trip, as I remember.]]>http://www.lclark.edu/live/news/24885-transitions#24885news24885http://www.lclark.edu/live/image/gid/273/width/90/height/90/crop/1/43807_barbara-burke.jpgNewsCommencement—and What My Mom Knewhttp://www.lclark.edu/live/news/24683-commencementand-what-my-mom-knew

A few days before graduating with an econ degree in 2001, I expressed my career and life concerns to my mother. She replied, "Try to relax.

In a widely viewed TED talk, Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Adichie describes her encounters with "the danger of a single story." Adichie grew up in a middle-class family, and her mother repeatedly commanded that she finish her dinner, citing the poverty of their houseboy, Fide. When she finally met Fide's family, she was astonished that his mother wove beautiful raffia baskets. In her mother's single story of poverty, there was no room for beauty. Single stories reduce the complexity of human experience. People become, Adichie argues, one aspect of their lives.]]>http://www.lclark.edu/live/news/22052-stories-from-michoacan#22052news22052http://www.lclark.edu/live/image/gid/273/width/90/height/90/crop/1/38542_mulcahy.jpgNewsWomen’s Rights: Thoughts from Afghanistanhttp://www.lclark.edu/live/news/20420-womens-rights-thoughts-from-afghanistan
